Can a scientist save a test subject from her life’s work?


A sci-fi/drama visual novel, and a prequel to malViolence.

About:

For over 20 years, Dr. Deidre Destrange produced groundbreaking research on cybernetics under STOP: a world-renowned security organization.

However, her work has led to the birth of STOP’s Youth Training and Development Initiative (YTDI): an unethical program that turns children into powerful cyborg soldiers.

Since Deidre’s legacy founded the YTDI, she believes she has the power to end it.

Will her upcoming case study save STOP from itself?
